Even better would be to make this code generic for any sort, via a PHP interface and have the actual sort algorithm in a separate php class in a separate plugins folder and use dependency injection. This would enable people to write further kinds of sorts, though at the moment I can only think of weight and alphabetical.

Hi,
I support the possibility to order facets alphabetical!
Is this may be in the short future possible?
greetings, Martijn

Isn't sorting by "Display value" (2nd row in sort table) just what you want?

Hi, Yes I think that sort by "Display value" is what I want. Thanks!
If off course capitals are sorted as normal letters :)

greetings and thanks for your reply!
Greetings, Martijn
